49ers signed WR David Reed, WR DeMarco Sampson and DT Christian Tupou to reserve/future contracts.

Reed spent 2010-12 on the fringe of the Ravens' roster, catching five passes in 29 games. This season, he appeared in seven games for the Colts, making one catch. Sampson had a 2011 cup of coffee with the Cardinals, while injures along the Bears' defensive line forced Tupou into five games this season.

Colts waived KR/WR David Reed and TE Justice Cunningham.

LB Josh McNary was promoted from the practice squad in a corresponding roster. Reed had a shot at a bigger role on offense after Reggie Wayne (ACL) was lost for the season, but caught just one pass in four games. Reed was also struggling mightily on returns, continually bringing the ball out of the end zone at inopportune times. It's possible Da'Rick Rogers will finally get a chance in Indy.

Colts KR/WR David Reed exited Thursday night's preseason finale with a concussion.

Reed was acquired from the Ravens in exchange for RB Delone Carter eight days ago. The Colts are planning to use Reed as their kick returner. He shouldn't have an offensive role as the fifth or sixth receiver in a West Coast offense.

The Colts intend to use newly acquired David Reed as a kick returner.

Reed led the NFL in kickoff return average in 2010 at 29.3 yards. For his career, he's at 29.5 yards per return. The Ravens didn't have any need for Reed with Jacoby Jones serving as their return man.

Colts acquired WR/KR David Reed from the Ravens in exchange for RB Delone Carter.

A 2010 fifth-round pick, Reed has just five career catches, but has averaged a solid 29.5 yards on 39 kick returns. Those return numbers were compiled before his 2011 ACL tear, however. Reed will likely be limited to special teams if he cracks Indy's roster.

Ravens re-signed WR/KR David Reed to a two-year, $2.5 million contract.

Reed was a restricted free agent that had not yet received a tender from the Ravens. Coming off a 2011 ACL tear, he appeared in just five games last season and caught five passes for 66 yards. Reed's biggest impact will come as a kickoff returner, where he has an impressive career average of 29.5 yards per return.

Ravens activated WR/KR David Reed (ACL surgery) from the reserve/PUP list.

S Anthony Levine (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding roster move. Reed has been eligible to return since Week 7, but hasn't been needed with Jacoby Jones excelling on returns. If Reed's active on game days, it will be as a special teamer.

Ravens placed WR/KR David Reed (ACL surgery) on reserve/PUP.

Reed tore his ACL in Week 16 last season and was never cleared to participate in camp. He's now out until at least Week 7. The Ravens will move forward with Jacoby Jones as their primary return man.

Ravens WR/KR David Reed (ACL surgery) is unlikely to be ready for Week 1.

Reed had previously said he expected to be ready for camp, but it's looking like he'll miss the entire preseason. If that's the case, he'll likely either be stashed on injured reserve or released with an injury settlement.

Ravens WR/KR David Reed (ACL surgery) expects to be ready for training camp.

Reed estimated last week that he was 90 percent, and expects to make up the remaining 10 percent between now and when the Ravens report to camp on July 24. He'll need to be 100 percent to have any real chance of keeping his roster spot.

Ravens WR/KR David Reed is 90 percent recovered from ACL surgery.

Running fully and cutting, Reed says he has full range of motion in his leg. He will need to be back to full health by training camp to compete with rookies Deonte Thompson and Tommy Streeter for a roster spot. With Jacoby Jones on hand to handle return duties, Reed is facing an uphill battle.

Ravens KR David Reed (torn ACL) is ahead of schedule in his recovery process and expects to be completely healthy by training camp.

Reed had knee surgery in December and has yet to be cleared to participate in OTAs. His status should be updated when the Ravens report for their mandatory June minicamp. After fumbles cost him his job last year, he won't be guaranteed a spot on the 53-man roster.

Ravens KR David Reed (torn ACL) is hoping to soon resume running.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh confirmed Monday that KR David Reed tore his ACL in the team's Week 16 win over Cleveland.

He'll be placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Reed actually improved on his league-leading kick return average from his rookie year, going from 29.3 yards to 29.7 in 2011 with a long of 77. He still hasn't caught a regular season pass, however. Reed will likely open next season on the PUP list.

Ravens KR David Reed is believed to have torn his ACL in the Week 16 win over the Browns.

Reed is done for the year. "I made a cut on the kickoff return, and it buckled," he said. Reed averaged 29.7 yards on 18 kickoff returns this season.

David Reed has been removed from the Ravens' kick returner job.

In last Sunday's loss to the Seahawks, Reed fumbled twice on kickoff returns and picked up an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. "I think we're looking for our kick returner," coach John Harbaugh said Monday. Lardarius Webb, Chris Carr, Torrey Smith and LaQuan Williams are all options.

Ravens KR/WR David Reed (shoulder) is expected to return to game action this week.

Rookies Torrey Smith and LaQuan Williams have passed him on the depth chart while he was out for three weeks. It's not clear yet who will handle kickoff returns against the Texans.

The Carroll County Times reports Ravens KR David Reed (shoulder) will be sidelined 3-to-6 weeks.

Reed damaged the AC joint in his left shoulder in Sunday's loss. Reed was having a huge game before going down, averaging 41.7 yards on three returns. Six weeks is a long time for a special teamer to potentially be inactive, but Reed is good enough for the Ravens to keep him off I.R. Rookie WRs LaQuan Williams and Torrey Smith are the most likely kick return fill-ins.

Ravens reinstated WR/KR David Reed.

Reed was serving a one-game suspension for a 2010 marijuana incident. He'll return to the primary kickoff-return job while battling Tandon Doss and Torrey Smith for the third receiver role.

NFL suspended Ravens KR David Reed one game for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

He was also fined a game check and will return in Week 2. The one-game ban stems from a 2010 incident during which police discovered marijuana in Reed's home. Torrey Smith and Tandon Doss will compete in practice next week to open the season as the Ravens' third receiver. The kick return job is up for grabs.
